Lette/rs Patent No. `100,862, 'cla-ted Mrt/rch 15, 1870.

iIMERO''IiIll/IEN?? IN ORANGE-KNIFE.

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. COOKE, of Hart# ford, county of Hartford, and 'State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and yuseful Improvements in Orauge-Peelers; and' to enable others skilled in thev ,art to make and use 'the same, I'willproeeed to de-` scribe, referring to the drawings, in which the saine letters indicate like parts in each 'of'. the figures.

The nature of this inventiouconsists of a' curved blunt-edge blade, secured" tol an appropriate handle,` the object of which is to remove one-half of thepeel. from an orange, without cutting or'wasting the same.v

. To'be more particular, in the 4accompanying draai'-l ings- 4,

Figure l is a side view' of a blade, and one kind of 4a handle.A

Figure 2 is an edge view of the saine.

a is the blade, having a round end and blunt edge, the at surface b of which isbent in curve form, and secured in orto a handle, c, or'of any bther desired v form convenient for holding and; using said blade.

In using this implement, I'irsticut a hemispherical The Schedule ref-erred to in these Lettere P atentand making 'part of the same.

' slit through the peel, then insert the blade through .th e"slift, between the orange and its peel, and work it gradnallyaround to the starting pointy, then repeatthe same'operation on the other half, when the peel can `be easily and quickly removed Without injury or,

Waste to the Orange.

r Thus b the use of this implement the peel may be easily and quickly removed from an orange, lemon, or other fruit of like nature, thereby rendering it a useful and desirable article of use and trade.

I believe I have thus shown the nature and advan- 'tage of this implement, so as to enable others skilled in the art to make and usethe same therefrom.

What I claim therefore, and desire to secure by Lett'erslatent, is-

The curved blunt-edge blade c, with a handle ap- `propriate thereto, as a new article of manufacture,

substantially as set fort EDWARD L. COOKE. [L. s]
